Kim | October 8, 1991 |
The disclosure relates to a container with a tear-open feature. A pair of closure flaps is bridged by a sealing tape structure which includes a central, tearable band bridging the area between the flaps, and spaced-apart guide means on opposite sides of the tear band, adhesively secured to the container flaps. The guide means may advantageously comprise plastic strips which are separate from but mounted on a carrier tape, or which may be an integral part of the tape structure joined to the central tearable strip by lines of weakness.
